Igor Soarez created KAFKA-8505: ---------------------------------- Summary: Limit the maximum number of connections per ip client ID Key: KAFKA-8505 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-8505 Project: Kafka Issue Type: New Feature Reporter: Igor Soarez
As highlighted by KAFKA-1512 back in 2014, it is important to be able to limit the number of client connections to brokers to maintain service availability. With multiple use-cases on the same cluster, it's important to prevent one misconfigured use-case from affecting other use-cases. Cloud infrastructure technology has come a long way since then. Nowadays days in a private network using container orchestration technology, IPs come cheap. Limiting connections solely on origin IP is no longer acceptable. Kafka needs to support connection limits based on client identity. A new configuration property - {{max.connections.per.clientid}} - should work similarly to {{max.connections.per.ip}} using ConnectionQuotas, managed straight after parsing the request header in SocketServer. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
